Blackberry Farm Makes Cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
The photograph was taken this past summer by fashion photographer, Ben Watts, as part of its “Made in the USA” theme that takes readers across the country to celebrate famous American landscapes. During the 10-day shoot photos were captured all across the idyllic 4200-acre estate including the property's Boathouse, Farmhouse, stables, gardens, streams and archery range.

“I'm thrilled, but not surprised, that Sports Illustrated chose to feature Blackberry Farm, one of Tennessee's and the world's treasures, in this year's Swimsuit Edition,” said Commissioner Susan Whitaker, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development. “The magazine is known for choosing the most beautiful places in the world to feature some of the most beautiful women in the world. We look forward to welcoming Sports Illustrated readers from around the globe to experience our breathtaking scenic beauty in places like Blackberry Farm and the most exciting music scene on the planet right here in Tennessee.”
